Full World Series ratings are in

Weird considering the LA television market and not winning a World Series in 32 years. I know TB isn’t the most exciting brand and television market, but those ratings are awfully low considering how weird and bad of a year 2020 is.

Good

I think those ratings are mostly all L.A. - so it's not bad.

I'd like to see how much the Tampa Bay market contributed to the ratings.

Per FOX: The World Series averaged 9.785 million viewers over six games on FOX. That is the least-watched World Series on record.

Since when did MLB draw more viewers than the NBA finals? Perhaps it's common but I never would've thought that.

---

The finals were averaging 6.71 million viewers after three games and attracted an audience of 7.54 million for game four and 5.7 million for game five. Based on the reported figures, the average viewership across the entire series was just over 6.4 million.

How pissed are the NBA and MLB that they couldn't capitalize on their marquee LA team winning the championship?

Living in the Tampa Bay Area, it really seemed like more people were excited about the Lightning winning the Stanley Cup than the Rays being in the World Series. Weirdly enough, this is a southern hockey town.

Because people in Tampa don’t even want to watch the Rays.

And Tropicana Field is the worst stadium in sports, worst than the Oakland Coliseum.

I personally watched about 12 minutes

It’s all the SJW stuff the MLB was doing during the World Series

Settle down

40 million people watched the Cubs win the game 7 a few years ago. 30 + million less people just 4 years later.


The Cavs Warriors game 7 in 2016 drew 31 million.


Its been a rough 4 years for sports.

The 2019 superbowl was also the least watched in 11 years. 4 consecutive years of declining ratings for the superbowl.

Sports seem to have peaked from a TV spectating standpoint.
